Welcome to Hanoi Travel Tips. This website is created to provide tourists and visitors with useful, fascinating as well as essential information to prepare for a trip to Hanoi, fast-developing capital of Vietnam. After the years of civil war, Hanoi is today one of the fastest growing cities in Southeast Asia, and with travel relaxation, rapidly becoming an important travel destinations. It is not the place to go if you are looking for quietness. You can expect Hanoi to be a busy, active, noisy place with traffic blaring on every street. But even here, you can find pockets of serenity. Through Hanoi Travel Tips, I want to help you unlock the beauty of Hanoi and its surrounding region. If you are preparing for a trip there, you will find in this website practical tips covering every aspect of your visit, learning all you would need to know about Hanoi and its history, culture, food, and find out where to stay, what sort of transport is available, and so on.
I created Hanoi Travel Tips to assemble all the travel information about Hanoi that I have accumulated over the years. Below is a list of the topics I intend to cover. My apologies that this website is still very much far from completion. It takes a lot of time and effort to research and document every detail of Hanoi - but I must say I am enjoying every bit of it. Please be patient as Hanoi Travel Tips develops progressively. Do check back regularly for new updates. You can also subscribe to my Hanoi RSS Feed or join my Yahoo Forum, where you can also interact with fellow travel enthusiasts.
